What to have in your message:

Your name, what you are thinking of getting tattooed. If you want line-work, shading, or color. What placement you want, if you know. As well as any photos that show the style of tattoo you want.

How much?

I try to stay pretty transparent when it comes to cost, and can always give a price or time estimate on tattoos. I currently charge $150/hr for customs, and can do an hourly rate or flat rate for flash.

I also post monthly discounted flash ever so often if you’d like to get a tattoo but might have a tigher budget.

The Deposit

For all appointments I charge a $50 non-refundable deposit, which will be deducted from the total price of your tattoo.

Deposits are non-transferable and good for that design only (although I sometimes make exceptions on a case by case bases)

If you need to reschedule please let me know at least 48hrs before your appoint and your deposit can be transferred to your new appointment time.

Reschedules can be made up 2 times within 3 months of your initial appointment.

getting ready to be tatted

Make sure to drink plenty of water in the days leading to your tattoo, hydrated skin is great.

That being said, avoid using lotion a day or two before your appointment.

Also eat a good meal, bananas or anything with potassium is a bonus!

WHat to bring

If you’d like to bring someone with you to your appointment feel free to! I have room for one extra person to hang out with you at my station.

We play music at the shop, but you can also bring headphones to listen to music or a podcast.

Also the overhead lights at my station are pretty bright! If your eyes are sensitive feel free to bring a hat or sunglasses.

I recommend bringing a water bottle and a snack with you when getting tattooed. Although we do usually have water and some pretty good snacks here as well!

Aftercare

After we’re done and you have your fresh new tattoo! We’ll go over aftercare instructions together in person. However, if you’d like detailed aftercare instructions feel free to check out the aftercare page on my website!

Its healed, Now WHAT?

If you want to write a good review for the shop its always super appreciated!

Also healed pictures of your tattoo are great!! Extra bonus if its taken in natural lighting by another person.

Touch Ups

I stand by my tattoos and try to do my best, if anything falls out or needs a touch up feel free to shoot me a message. I include a complementary touch up within 6 months of your appointment.
